Looking for Nurse Cape...

[kiltie]

...and it doesn't have to be a member selling. Are there any modern makers? can't seem to find anything on the internet machine, though I may need to try different key words.
In lieu of the actual cape, anyone know of a pattern?
I have seen them on ebay, but they tend to run on the smaller side. I'm looking for somewhere in the neighborhood of 5'8"+, height/weight propotionate.

Thanks for any help.

I have one that's vintage, but it won't be cheap. I paid quite a lot for it.

You can PM if interested. I'm short and it should be perfect for you based on your height. I thought I posted a pic here in the Outerwear thread, but can't seem to find it.

i saw an beautiful nurse's cape in incredible condition at an antique shop in Los Alamos, California called "Gussied Up Antiques." This was a month ago on July 17th. 805-344-2504.

I do not remember the price or sizing, but perhaps if you called them they could assist you.

I'm not sure what actually distinguishes a "nurse cape" from any regular cape, but here are some patterns:

Okay: which one of my friends have you been talking to?
PM sent.

Thanks so much for the replies. I'm shooting for this to be a Christmas present.

V.Betty - I'd look mighty darn silly in a nurse's cape.

She's always fawning over the capes that some of the oldtimers still have.
Thanks again.

My wife went to a Halloween party as a WWII nurse and had to rent the cape. I'm sure she would also buy one if the price was right.
Good luck with your search.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

I'll be selling a large amount of my overcoats, some of which are listed in this thread. I think this thread only shows (roughly) 25 coats, capes and furs I own and I probably have 50, most of which I will be selling:
